Was at the game tonight. Ferland took a header into the boards trying to lay a massive hit. Left the game and didnt return. Doesnt look good. If I had to guess, I would think shoulder, though could be the head/back/knee or a bunch of other things I suppose. Hope he is ok and back in the lineup soon.

Was just discussing with some other fans about him at the first intermission about how he would be a great fit with the Oil Kings for a playoff drive if the Wheaties didnt think they were going to make it and wanted to get something in return. Pure speculation on my part, but it would be nice.

Ferland is a 20 year old player so the Oil Kings would have to have room for a 20 year old. The Wheat Kings have 2 weeks to get down to 3 twenty year old players.

Not sure how high the asking price could be. You get half a season and playoffs and that's it. Its not like we are talking about Brayden Schenn here. Not even sure what his health status is after leaving the game in Edmonton. Hasnt returned to the lineup since.

Checking out Cheeks stats from last year and they do not even compare close to Ferland.

Ferland also had the benefit of playing with some pretty skilled players last season. Not to take anything away from Ferland but that certainly bloated his numbers. Cheek would add some secondary scoring without having to sell the farm. In fact Vancouver doesn't even want picks in return for Cheek. They want another body. Although as you said, Cheek doesn't provide the grit and toughness like Ferland would. So that may make him a little less appealing. Lethbridge is another team that has contacted Vancouver about Cheek.

Let's just say as of right now a 1st round pick wouldn't cut it. And speaking of Brayden Schenn, the asking price isn't nearly as outrageous but it's still quite significant. I think at some point Brandon will have to settle for less if they really want to get something for Ferland. Regarding his health last I heard it's nothing serious. Day-to-day.
